The Field (1990)

Director: Jim Sheridan

Writer: Jim Sheridan, John B. Keane (play)

Stars: Richard Harris, John Hurt, Sean Bean

A movie that pulls at my heart strings in the exact opposite way A Fistful of Dynamite did. Just goes to show how film can make one question one’s feelings and beliefs from both sides of the coin. John Hurt and Sean Bean are marvellous. The scene in the Parochial house for me, is Richard Harris finest hour and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stick up any time I watch it.
